Our expertise
Ennolys, expert in industrial fermentation and biotechnologies
Ennolys offers biotechnology advances to serve a wide range of industries including food, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, flavors, and agriculture. As a business unit of Lesaffre, we combine two core activities centered around our expertise in industrial fermentation.
On one hand, we develop a targeted range of natural aromatic molecules such as acetaldehyde and vanillin. On the other, our teams provide custom fermentation services for producing a wide variety of microorganisms or their metabolites, including probiotics, postbiotics, enzymes, proteins, and peptides.
A global team of 100 employees is committed to naturalness, customer satisfaction, and innovation.
Our mission is to reveal the infinite potential of microorganisms and contribute to better nourish and protect the planet.
